The head is not split. The main hub seems fine. No defects of cracks at all. Even when I put it on the main shaft and pull it in several different directions.
Virtual1,
Usually the weakest part fails. I would highly doubt or ever expect the bolt to shear in two places simultaneously. One it goes in one place then the loads that were placed on it have been relieved.
For anyone interested I have close up pics of the shear faces of the broken bolt. Please email me if you want to see them.
